Hello Egor,
 
Being a bit new to this myself, I *may* be leading you down the wrong route...
 
I would be inclined to illustrate given instances of a Use Case by means of using a sequence diagram - this allows the sequence of events over time to be modelled and also allows you to demonstrate the behaviour under a given circumstance.
 
Hope this helps
 
Regards

Subject: (ROSE) Use Cases scenarios - newbie question

Hello
 
We've just started using Use Cases to document/design our project.
 
What I can't get is how to define scenarios ( ie sequence of actions )
on Use Case diagram. Is there any standard way to do that or I just
need to put all this into documentation ? Or draw additional activity
diagram ?
 
For example the Use Case "Distribute a survey" should include
"Enter list of emails", "Enter start/stop dates" etc. etc. done in the
exactly same sequence. If any of steps fails, whole Use Case fails.
That's too simple sequence for activity diagram and too long for
documentation. I tried to add one more dependency stereotype
"follows" - but it makes diagram overloaded.
 
Please if you have any solution for this, post it here as it can be useful
for all use case novices.
 
Thanks in advance
